rim fitment

Postby troykinslegacy » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:40 pm

hey guys,

so im looking at rims from T&R autostyling on facebook, he has rs mesh reps nd was wondering about 16x8+20/25 or 16x9+15/20 on how the fitment would be,

obviously going to roll and pull the guards a little bit but how would it sit?

16x8's might poke with that offset. You'll also wear out your hub bearings real quick running that offset. I wouldn't go anything more that +30

would the bearings bust out due to AWD? im after the poke style, but owning silvias or RWD make it easy, 17x10+15 works a treat on most of them,
so a 17x8.5+25/30 would be better then ?

yeah, roll and pull, thought about untacking and welding a sheet in their to go wider but meh, a decent roll and pull will come out almost an inch, without bowing the sides in, slowly does it

Only a few legacy gt threads about people running +15/+20 offsets and having to replace their hub bearings often.
